The Pasay Voyagers tripped the Bulacan Kuyas, 89-84, to return to orbit in the SportsPlus Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League 2026 Season at the Pasay Astrodome.

With Bulacan ahead 77-75, Pasay dropped 11 points, five by Steve Nash Enriquez and a triple each by Christian Fajarito and Rence Alcoriza, against two by Bulacan to break free, 86-79, with 2:40 to go.

Bulacan’s Airohn Acop completed a three-point play, but Pasay held on to its 10th win against 10 losses in the round-robin elimination phase through three charities by Enriquez.

Alcoriza chalked up 20 points, spiked by four triples, and 3 assists to clinch the SportsPlus best player honors over Fajarito, who had 16 points, 11 rebounds, three steals and two assists.

Enriquez finished with 11 points and 4 assists, followed by Lennard Santiago with 10 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals.

The Kuyas, who tumbled to 4-12, drew 19 points, four assists, three rebounds and two steals from Airohn Acop, 13 points, four assists and three rebounds from Mart James Barrera, and 12 points, four rebounds and two assists from William Sy Jr.

Meanwhile, Domark Matillano drilled in a jumper with 3.8 seconds left to lift the Parañaque Patriots past the Negros Hacienderos, 95-94, in the opener of another triple-bill.

The 5-foot-11 find from the Philippine Merchant Marine School completed Parañaque’s comeback from a 38-57 hole early in the third quarter and handed the Patriots their second win against 18 losses.

Negros had a chance to reverse the outcome, but Achie Inigo’s buzzer-beating triple missed, and the Hacienderos slipped to 1-14.

James Mangahas posted 20 points, 12 in the third quarter, and six rebounds to edge Jomar Santos, with 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Matillano, with 14 points, six assists and four rebounds, for Best Player honors.

Other Patriots who delivered were homegrown Paolo Castro, with 13 points and two rebounds, Marlon Monte, with 12 points, three rebounds and two assists, and Ryusei Koga with nine points and nine rebounds.

Negros fell to 1-14 as Michael Alvarez’s 27-point, seven-rebound, two-assist effort and Reymar Caduyac’s 17-point, nine-assist output and six-rebound output went for naught.
